Anti Theft Key Pad

[Guest deadmike]

hi, i've just bought my 1st zx its a 1997 p reg 1.9 diesel, slammed on its sills, 15" alloys, citunning quad exhaust, postert rear bumper and m3 side skirts. just 1 question though how do i change the code on the key pad. didn't get any books with it and i cant find how to do it in the haynes manual. also want to change to a turbo diesel and wanted to know if i can just bolt on the turbo or is it easier to get a full turbo engine and swap them. any help please reply. many thanks mike

Hi. This is straight from the handbook. Assuming you know the existing code.

 

To change the code. Ignition switched on.

1.-Enter old code already in memeory.

2.-Press Key "C"

3.- Enter new 4 figure code.

4.- Press Key "C" to validate.

 

Four flashes of the green warning lamp and four audible beeps indicate the information is recorded.

 

The two codes (Old & New) remain valid until one is used to start the engine.

Should there be no confirmation (Flashes & beeps) turn the ignition off. then turn on and strt the process again.

 

If both Red & Green lamps flash simultaneously, this indicates an incorrect entry or malfunction. if this condition persists CONSULT CITROEN DEALER.

 

I have been told that the diesel may have the immobiliser disabled by unplugging the keypad while the engine is running. I know of people who have done this but have no idea what would happen should the unit be re-connected. Hope this helps.

when you reconnect it the immobilizer cuts back in.........then you hope you can remember the code, cos you can bet this will be several months later when you decide to do it!
